ignition FIAT 500 ABARTH 2014 2.G Owner's Manual

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
•This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experi-
ence reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your ve-
hicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
• This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also intended for driving
in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, ex-
cept for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the “Full Off”
mode, depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five seconds, the
ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in the
EVIC. To turn ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will
come on for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If
this light remains on, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
• ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.

Using The Power Button
• Push and release the Power Button (4) once to turn On the TIREFIT kit. Push and
release the Power Button (4) again to turn Off the TIREFIT kit.
Using The Deflation Button
• Press the Deflation Button (2) to reduce the air pressure in the tire if it becomes
over-inflated.
TIREFIT Usage Precautions
•Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration
date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system. Refer
to “Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.”
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use. After
each use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized dealer.
• When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will
remove the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of de-
bris before connecting the TIREFIT kit.
•You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes with
two needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the
air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only
the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode
when inflating such items to avoid injecting sealant into them. The TIREFIT Sealant is
only intended to seal punctures less than 1/4” (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your
vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that
is near to the ground. This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the
valve stem and keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground. This will provide the best
positioning of the kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running
the air pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this posi-
tion before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmis-
sion) and cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery
booster pack. Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please fol-
low the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the trans-
mission into gear and turn the ignition
to OFF/LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all un-
necessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start
the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach, set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good engine
ground (exposed metal part of the discharged vehicles engine) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
60

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the engine ground(-)of the ve-
hicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of
the booster battery.
3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the bat-
tery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw powerfrom the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suf-ficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source witha system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter mo-tor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or ex-
plode and cause personal injury.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
•Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the bat-
tery to explode and could result in personal injury.
